Tiré du site Internet http://collguides.lib.uiowa.edu/?MSC0517: "Co-curated by Judith Hoffberg and Joan Hugo, Artwords and Bookworks was one of the largest exhibition of artists' books and ephemera to take place during the 1970s. Comprised of experimental works by approximately six hundred contributors, the exhibition presented a diverse and provocative sampling of this alternative art form."
Artwords is precisely that. Art and words combined to form a fusion of art and literature. Th is work is composed of colorful literary artworks consisting of calligrams, photographs, and redactive poetry. They are different forms of writing which can be both read and appreciated visually. Words have power. Words form images. But what if they formed images you could see with your eyes? Being both an artist and a writer, has led Beatriz Robles to want to create literature that could be seen as artwork as well. Coming from her second book, A Sensual World: What do you see?, the style of writing in Artwords takes it one step further as the writing itself becomes the art. They are one. Artwords is painting with words. It's taking a pair of scissors and making them a little more interesting, transforming it into literary art. And that was the genesis for Artwords- a book for everyone, for art lovers and readers; a book not just for your mind but for your eyes as well. "Th e prose of Bea Robles teases us into thought with its rich layers of meaning. Th e reader will be rewarded with this imaginative combination of illustration and prose. "Danton Remoto, author of Riverrun, on Robles' second book, A Sensual World: What do you see? "Enchanting images systematically embellish the book, serving as unravelling of meanings or purposes." Edgar O. Cruz, Daily Tribune, on Robles' second book, A Sensual World: What do you See? "Robles is not always serious. Her stream-of-consciousness has naughty turns...sections end a la O. Henry. Unexpected...Th e sections are accompanied/depicted with photos which she herself took, including her own paintings." Paul Blanco Zafaralla, Manila Bulletin, on Robles' first book, Life through Letters Her artwork has been described to have a "disarming quality that by turns is soothing, hypnotic, mesmerizing." Gino Dormiendo, Th e Philippine Daily Inquirer
This volume assembles interviews with over thirty major artists to form a unique document of American art of the '60s and '70s. Between 1966 and 1973, Jeanne Siegel conducted interviews and panel discussions with most of the major art figures of the period. Here is Marcel Duchamp on his role as the major progenitor of the period; Ad Reinhardt on the importance of art as art; Don Judd, Andy Warhol, Robert Murray, Saul Steinberg, and others on Barnett Newman and his influence; Louise Nevelson on "feminine sculpture"; Romare Bearden on the role of African-American art in the civil rights movement; Leon Golub on the importance of social protest in art; Carl Andre on the Art Workers Coalition; Robert Rauschenberg and Larry Rivers on the possibilities of multi-media; Allen Kaprow and George Segal on environments and happenings; Claes Oldenburg on fragments of ordinary objects; Roy Lichtenstein on the influence of Art Deco:;Hans Haacke on systems aesthetics; and Joseph Kosuth on language art. Through these dialogues and others, Artwords exposes the foundations of the art of the '80s and '90s, illuminating the ideas which originated during this seminal period, and which are still very much alive today.
